    Jesus is the word of God made flesh. He is the son of God, He is God. He died for my sins and rose from the dead 3 days later and accented to heaven to be at the right hand of the father. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me from hell, from the devil, from drug addiction, from suffering, from sickness. I owe Jesus everything when the persecution comes I'll died for Jesus.

    As is known, many theologians do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus. According to them, it would be an inner experience. However, according to the Acts of the Apostles and the letters of Saint Paul, the Resurrection of Jesus is the indispensable requirement to receive Baptism and be saved. These theologians do not have the faith that is necessary to be saved, they are in extreme danger of being damned. They have two solutions, both go through humility, which is the problem. Say to God: I want to believe in the resurrection of your Son Jesus, but I can't. Make me safe, as if I believed. The other is to turn to the Shroud and mentally see the miracle witnessed by John, Peter, Joseph of Arimathea, Mary Magdalene, and even Mary, Mother of Jesus. They were privileged, they believed in the resurrection of Jesus thanks to that visible miracle. The Holy sheet with the "photos" of Jesus and the head shroud suspended in the air. The other Christian faithful would believe because of the preaching and the action of the Holy Spirit, but all had to believe in the resurrection of Jesus as a "sine qua non" condition. Now in the 21st century, the miracle is offered to us again because the book picks up the pieces of the puzzle that Saint John left us and puts them in their place and thus the scene that they saw twenty centuries later appears drawn, since Saint John was not explicit for various reasons. His community knew how to read between the lines what he was explaining because they knew the story well enough. It is about the book SAINT JOHN THE EVANGELIST "SAW AND BELIEVED" AND WE TOO! On Amazon.

    Excellent lecture on how reliable the evidence for the Resurrection is. Makes me wonder for how the supposedly Scholarly critics would, or rather could respond to this, without also appearing to be a highly educated prejudiced fool. Biased Prejudices are very powerful though, and I’ve read, and have had personal experiences, that the longer someone has believed something that wasn’t true, it is very difficult for them to change their mind, and no matter how profound and convincing the challenging evidence. But in my opinion only, I don’t believe it shouldn’t be that difficult for people of integrity, who really prefer knowing what’s true, even if the truth hurts.
    And so after having said that, I was surprised after viewing a recent video on UA-cam, and considering the enormous amount of profound evidence that’s been compiled on the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, I was amazed that this same man, who also gave some of the compelling evidence for the authenticity of the Shroud being the burial garment of Jesus Christ, and yet somehow, gave a final assessment, of being a somewhat skeptical agnostic on it validity. Seems kinda like a paradox.

      You'd think that if Jesus' teachings were so pro-Roman there wouldn't be 300 years of persecution against Christians by the Roman Empire from Nero to Diocletian. You'd also think that Christianity would have upheld the cult of Emperor worship, instead of standing steadfastly against it, resulting in generations of persecution and martyrdom.

      The Story of Christ is His Story... God's Story of God's love and mercy for us. This actual event of incarnation and of the resurrection of Jesus is so profound that we measure all human history from the reference point of Jesus Christ (AD/BC; CE, BCE). That should tell you something about the historicity of Jesus if not anything else. An inconvenient truth is that most historians accept Jesus as an historical figure and many leading historians accept that there is solid evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Check William Lane Craig on this subject.

    Well Mr. Haberdashery you have taught me something new. What you may ask? That G-d spoke the Bible well at least yours, the New Testament in Greek. In mine, the Tenakh He ONLY SPOKE AND WRITTEN IN HEBREW. Your New Testament is indeed a myth. You mentioned 1 Couinthians 15. Well you are talking about 15: 3-4. Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. The “scriptures” Paul says that prove Jesus will rise after 3 days DO NOT EXIST anywhere in Tanakh. Paul lied and you are too. Did you notice that Paul never said WHAT these verses are? That’s because he LIED!! Prove me wrong. Tell me where they are in my Bible, the Tenakh. You won’t. Because you can’t.
    Now let’s look at your gospel dates. Matthew claims that Jesus predicted 31:46 31:50 31:58 32:04 .that the Temple would fall
    not one stone left upon another. That happened. Well almost. It did fall leaving not one stone upon another. And Matthew was WRITTEN after the fact. Nothing putting words in Jesus’ mouth. It happened a lot.
    I know you’re a popular guy but you clearly need to study the scriptures Jesus or Paul knew. Also Paul started writing about 49-50 ce.
    I am also happy to hear that you only attribute 7 books to Paul. The other 7or8 are not indisputably written by Paul. As for Paul being a student of Gamleal, Gamleal could have been asked himself. He wasn’t and Paul wasn’t his student

    ⭐⭐⭐ *JESUS IS COMING VERY VERY VERY SOON* !🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
    The return of Jesus is at hand!
    JESUS IS THE *ONLY WAY* TO HEAVEN!
    📖 John 14:6 says,
    " Jesus says, 'I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER (in Heaven) BUT BY ME'.
    *JESUS CHRIST* is the only, true way to Salvation! It’s the _free gift_ of GOD to all those who believe and trust Him!
    *SALVATION* ! is the redemption of one’s soul from eternal destruction after death of man, on this earth, by the cleansing of the blood, and by the death and power of resurrection of Jesus Christ
    📖Acts.4:12 says.
    *Salvation is found in no one else (except Jesus Christ),* *for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be* saved."
    How is *_SALVATION_* gifted to man?
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
    📖John 3:3 says,
    Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
    How can a man be *BORN-AGAIN* ?
    To be Born-Again in spiritual sense, is to die to our old sinful nature and be born-again in the spirit, to be holy, righteous with a new nature in Christ Jesus.
    👉To be born-again, we need to repent & confess our sinful past for a holy future.
    What is *REPENTANCE* ?
    👉 *_REPENTANCE_* ! Everyone born into this world is a Born-sinner. Human nature is a sinful nature. Sin in us has defiled us and has separated us from the Holy GOD!
    We have to repent for all the unholy, lawless transgressions of God’s commandments done willfully or unknowingly, in order to obtain mercy and grace so that we might not be judged and fall into condemnation, the condemnation of eternal hell.
    📖 Acts.3:19 says,..✔️Repent, then, and turn to GOD, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the LORD.
    What is *CONFESSION* of sins?
    👉 *_CONFESSION_* ! The guilt of sin and it’s condemnation is rolled away if one truly regrets his sinful past and confesses them in the presence of Jesus Christ.
    📖Romans.10:9 &10
    ✔️That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
    📖 1 John, 1st chapter & verse 9 says..
    ✔️If we confess our sins, He (Jesus Christ) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins(every sin)...
    The sole purpose of sending Jesus Christ into this world more than 2020 ago is this👇
    📖John.3:16-17 says "
    👉 *GOD so loved the world* (us) that *He* (Father GOD) gave *His* only begotten Son *to die for us* ( our redemption ), that *whosoever believes in Him* (Jesus) *should not perish* (in hell) but *have everlasting life.*

  • @wowojeejee

    Historians agree that there is not one written eyewitness account of Jesus during his lifetime. Strange since he was famous at birth, because wise men expected to see the future king of Jews who was born from a virgin married mother. Every leading Christian scholar since Erasmus, five hundred years ago, has maintained that the gospels were originally written in Greek from 70 to 140 CE (Mark after the year 70, Luke about 110, Matthew about 130, and John no earlier than 140 CE). This proves that they were not written by Christ's apostles, disciples or by any of the early Christians.
    Others say: “There is no proof of the Gospels existing before 130 CE”
    Jesus is depicted as hugely popular in the gospels. Yet he is unrecorded by non-Biblical historians.
    Paul was the first one to write about Jesus around 60CE; but he, like everyone else, never saw Jesus. He experienced a vision of the resurrected Jesus. Even Paul’s existence is in serious doubt.
    John Gresham Machen wrote: The establishment of Christianity as a world religion, to almost as great an extent as any great historical movement can be ascribed to one man, was the work of Paul.
    I also read that the history of the first three popes was invented because they never existed.

      @@pm7395 I suggest that you go read Richard Carrier, if you want to understand why the resurrection is just a "fairy tale"
      History is brim full of magical suff and I, probably just like you, believe none of it as none of it is supported by empirical evidence. Unlike you however, I don't lower my evidential standards for Jesus.

      @@pm7395 I must say that it is unusual, but refreshing to find an open minded Christian.
      I would caution you however, as I once considered myself to be an open minded Christian and that lead me to becoming an atheist.

      Let us suppose you are correct. If I live my life believing in Jesus and I am wrong, what have I lost? If you believe that this is "just a fairy tale" and you are wrong, what have you lost? It is basically a belief thin that you are betting your life on.

    Gary Habermas is an interesting person. He seems to me conviently lacking in knowledge of the hard sciences and prefers mystère and magique of theology. Sure I have my biases thats why I believe in evidence that helps one survive and not just in an economic way
    Gary Habermas is not an electrician or a blacksmith because wouldn't get enough money of fame doing work that required hard evidence. He choses mystère magique where the probabilities of being demonstrated incorrect in his lifetime are small, and the probability of the resurection so small you can't calculate the probability of correctness of the proposition which rests behind trillions of zeros.
    Let's face it, the probability is that the gospels were written under the tutorlidge of intellectual Roman and Jewish Scholars with a strong pysycho-political motives for change in the order of events, for Rome primary and their close neighbours secondary, was a real initiative and it worked.
    Gary who wrote the gospels and who or what inspired them to be written in Greek and why. Which ordinary people in Rome and Palestinian spoke or read Greek?
    The control of people could largely achieved by a theological psychology, using cognitive dissonance as a practical means.
    Open your mind Gary and try a few verities for a change, based on evidence and not magic.

      You can't address his scholarly points, so you accuse him of choosing his path because of money.
      You're the unscholarly UA-camr he was talking about. You're not evidence-driven. If you were you wouldn't open up your post with a personal attack.
